The water drinking continues

December 11, 2009

But before I get into this post I would like to just say that, as promised, today and yesterday were MUCH better days. Thank you for asking. 😉

I apologize for not post last night, as the day got away from me quite quickly. My sister is in town again, visiting and I took some time to make a delicious dinner for her arrival. More on that after this brief challenge update:

Today (Friday)’s Wednesday Weekly Challenge water consumption so far: 1.5 Liters and for me it’s only 11:00 am! Not bad! Although this morning’s workout definitely helped. This morning, I crawled out of my nice warm bed and made my way downstairs to turn on my favorite DVD series… P90X.

P90X: Core Synergistics

Stacked Foot/Staggered Hands Push-up

Banana Roll (on back, arms stretched overhead, legs at 45 degrees- like a banana- then roll to the left balancing on hip, roll to stomach balancing with arms stretched overhead, legs stretched up, roll to right balancing on hip, repeat)

Leaning Crescent Lunges (lunge with 5 lb weight in each hand, as you lunge bring hands straight overhead at angle of your body then bring them back to come out of lunge)

Squat Run (5 lbs in each hand- runner’s stance squat, moving arms back and forth fast like you’re running)

Let’s just say this is a really good workout… only two 45 second breaks, otherwise nonstop. I was sweaty. Yum.

Ok, so dinner last night was a recipe that I have been wanted to try for a while. From this fantastic website, Rawmazing, I give you my rendition of Raw Sweet Potato Fries with Chipoltle Mayo… Only mine is Baked Sweet Potato Squared Fries. (haha, I was too lazy to cut the sweet potatoes into strips…)

For my version, I diced 2 giant sweet potatoes and 1 white onion and tossed them in a Pyrex pan with extra virgin olive oil and Nama Shoyu. Sprinkled these with salt and put them in the 400 degree oven for about 30-40 minutes or until tender. Remember to toss occasionally since the Nama Shoyu likes to stick (and then burn) to the pyrex.
